1 Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 19, 1921.

Application filed September 3, 1920. Serial No. 407,845.

Toall whomit may concern: Be it known that I, GEORGE S. SIEBEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oak Bluffs, in the county of Dukes and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razors, of which the following is a specificatlon.

This invention relates to improvements 1n combined hair cutter and safety razor and more specifically an adjustable comb and cutting means which may be easily adjusted for the purpose desired.

One of the objects of my invention is the construction of a novel hair cutter and safety razor including a comb and a razor blade holder adjustable on the comb.

Another and very important object of my invention is the provision of an adjustable hair cutter and safety razor, consisting of few parts, easily assembled and taken apart, accurate and positive in operation and inexpensive to manufacture.

A still further object of this invention resides in an improved comb and razor blade holder adjustable thereon and adapted to hold any type of flat razor blade.

With these objects in view and others which will be suggested as the purpose and nature of my invention are revealed in the specification and drawings, I have shown but one of the various embodiments in the following drawings, where:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the hair cutter and safety razor assembled.

Fig. 2 is a cross section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a detached View of the comb.

Fig. 4 shows a detached razor blade holder.

Fig. 5 shows a razor blade.

Similar numerals in the specification referring to corresponding like parts on the drawing, numeral 1 designates a frame preferably made of thin metal, or the like, having a reduced handle 2 and a comb with spaced teeth 4 of any desirable number. One half of the top portion of the comb is cut away as at 5 to receive a resilient preferably metallic cylindrical razor blade holder 6.

The holder 6 is retained in adjusted position, with respect to the teeth of the comb, in opposed front and rear angular slots 7, 8. The slots 7 are somewhat longer than the forward slots 8 and are cut to provide a shoulder 9 and fingers 10 for the purpose to be described. 7 1

Referring to F ig- 4, it will be seen that the resilient cylindrical blade holder has a slit 10 through which the teeth of'the comb may pass, there being opposed slightly offset notches 11, 12 at each end of the holder. :Ihenotches in the holder permit the ready insertion of the same in any one of the opposed angular slots should be observed in this connection that 1t is very essential that the notches 11, 12 be sllghtly ofi'set so that when the notch 11 is nserted in any one of the angular slots 7, it is necessary to slightly urge the teeth through the notch 12 so that the holder will be seated in its proper position. It is obvlous that the holder may be seated in any one of the opposed notches depending on whether a short, long or medium cut is desired. It is further apparent that the flat blade designated 13 is inserted through the slit 10 of the holder and lies on the face of the teeth. Placed in any of its adjusted positions on the comb, the device may be used as a hair cutter or safety razor, as desired.

While I have shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention and one which I have found to be highly practicable and satisfactory for the uses and purposes desired, I do not wish to limit or restrict myself to the exact details of construction shown, but retain the right to make such changes and alterations as may properly fall within the spirit and scope of the subject matter being claimed.

Iaving shown and described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

1. In a combined hair cutter and safety razor, a frame having a, handle and said frame being cut away above the comb, opposed notches forming fingers in the cut away portion of the frame, and a resilient holder and blade adapted to be retained by any of the opposed fingers.

2. In a combined hair cutter and safety razor, a frame having a handle and comb, said frame being cut away above the comb, a resilient holder adjustably mounted in the cut away portion and embracing the comb, and a blade carried by said holder against the comb for the purpose described.

3. In a combined hair cutter and safety 7, 8 of the comb. It

a comb,

gers, a resilient, cylindrical holder and a blade carried thereby and adjustable between the opposed fingers, said blade and comb )assing through a longitudinal slit in the holder and securely held thereby, and opposed slightl offset notches in the edges of the holder or engagement beneath the fingers, whereby the holder and blade may be adjustable with respect to the comb for varying the length of out.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature hereto.

GEORGE S. SIEBEN.
